The correct option is C Aluminium Smelting industry
Aluminium Smelting is a basic or key industry whereas others are consumer industries. Copper smelting and Iron and Steel industries are other key industries. The industries that make cars, utensils, or tables and chairs can be clubbed under consumer industries. This means that goods produced by these industries can be directly used by consumers.
